Listeners will get a personal account of what it was like to witness integration. Gangaji will share how it catalyzed her growth and shifted her perspective as a white woman in the South. The audience will hear how the contrasting journeys of Rev. Dr. TLC and Gangaji both resulted in spiritual commitments to advocating for love and equity.
EPISODE SUMMARY:
It was 1962 when violent riots broke out on the campus of the University of Mississippi "Ole Miss" following the enrollment of James Meredith, a black Air Force veteran. The integration of the previously all-white school was the catalyst of a historical social shift for the students of Ole Miss and the entirety of Mississippi.
Rev. Dr. TLC, born shortly after the integration, grew up against a backdrop of rebel flags and Confederate memorabilia just a few minutes from Ole Miss. Her guest, Gangaji was a student at the university when James Meredith was enrolled. Now, sixty years after this momentous event, two former Mississippi residents of two different generations and races sit down to discuss its impact. What was it like to witness it? What was it like to be raised in its aftermath?
